As I go through the web interface to setup a UDM I notice the following:
For the same DNS measurement, when I specify an interval of 24 hours between samples, the total daily cost comes to 10. When however I specify this to be a one-off sample, the cost then doubles to 20.
Cost for one-off measurements is indeed twice the amount of the regular ones. This is documented at https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/credits/
This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Is there a special reason for one-off measurements to be twice as expensive?
One-offs are more expensive for the system to execute: they need immediate scheduling and result delivery is done with priority for example, so they cost more. Regards, Robert
